Five scientists from The University of Reading’s Walker Institute have been chosen to be involved in the preparation of a climate change Assessment Report, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has announced.

The IPCC was established by the United Nations and the World Meteorological Organisation to give a scientific view on the current and future state of climate change and its potential consequences. It is the leading body in this field.

The Walker Institute has one of the largest concentrations of climate change expertise in the UK and this is reflected in the number of its scientists selected to work for the IPCC.

Scientists have been selected for their knowledge in understanding and predicting climate change, in climate modelling and the consequences of climate change.

The selected scientists will be working with experts from other countries in an extensive assessment of available literature on climate change and its impacts.
